Which vendor did you order them from for $30? I want a set for my M750, but can't find them for less than $70-ish.

Hey Tim.  I have a set of the cheaper ones that I'm not using.  Practically new.  I'll PM you.

Also, another question for anyone who might know: I was told by a vendor that the Pazzo levers have the clutch switch tab on the perch, not the lever.  Wouldn't that defeat the purpose, if that means the lever is depressed all the time?  I'd think the tab would have to be on the lever, as it is on the original Brembos.  But possibly the perch moves as well?  I just have not seen these levers in action to fully understand how they work by looking at pictures of them.

I have the Pazzo's and they have the tab on the lever just like on the brembos in the picture that IAmTheWalrus posted 8 posts back.  Now that I think about it, the adjustable levers are in two pieces.  I think the vendor you spoke to is calling the part of the lever that you touch the lever and the part closest to the mounting point the perch.

all ducatis have an in-gear clutch interlock for starting the bike while in gear.  has to be somewhere on your bike.,

Well, mine don't start in gear even if clutch lever depressed ... and I have the OEM clutch lever ...

Not all do (2001 and older AFIAK do not) but yours did out of the factory.  Do you have a clutch micro switch?

yep, the switch is probably disconnected or pooped.

something is jammed open then.  i don't think mathesis sees the neutral switch, it just sees the ecu's perception of what state its in.  i would start there:  replace it, or if you don't care, just ground it.

FWIW I just ordered the mlabel levers linked in this thread. The available color combinations didn't include gold levers with red adjusters but when I got an email saying I forgot to specify what color and length I wanted ( [bang]) I asked if they could do it and they said no problem. I'll post a small review when they come.

You'll be happy with them.  Check out the pics of them on my bike in this thread.  Decent quality for the price.  Very good customer service as well.

Quote from: speedknot on September 27, 2010, 08:42:54 AMTo all you naysayers...  Here they are.  I just got these today, from Taiwan.  Took a few weeks but it was well worth it.  For under $100 a pair, shipped, these cant be beat.

You actually waited 'a few weeks' just to save a few bucks over a set of CRGs when you could have just manned up and bought the real thing and had 'em delivered in a couple of days? Shipping all the way from Taiwan? At a time in US history when you actually should be buying whatever you can from American firms? I know the CRGs are pricey, and I hate to be that guy, but they are the original and still the best. And you get a free hat with them as well, with free shipping from California. Warms the heart but empties the wallet. Par for the Duc course.

I do like to buy American when I can and I do find myself looking at where things are made all the time.  However, saving over a $120 is not a "few bucks" and it has nothing to do with manning up.  Keep the hat and be somewhat competitive in price.  Parts are expensive enough for these bikes.  I don't need empty pockets in the name of buying USA.
